The simplest of fan-control schemes an on-off switch is simple but inefficient, because it provides more cooling than necessary most of the time. When The simplest of fan-control schemes — an on-off ...

Simple linear and switching voltage regulators with feedback networks of the type shown in Figure 1 are legion. Their output voltages are the reference voltage at the feedback (FB) pin multiplied by 1 ...

One of the simplest voltage regulator control strategies is the hysteretic regulator. This control methodology simply turns a switch on when the output voltage is below a reference and turns the ...

Feedback-control schemes for linear systems have been around since at least the 17 th century, regulating pressure and distance between millstones and then, famously, to control James Watt’s steam ...

“Chapter 5; Horowitz and Hill”. University students of all subjects will each have their standard texts of which everyone will own a copy. It will be so familiar to them as to be referred to by its ...

Kootenai Electric engineer Phillip Evander and technician Preston Jerome inspect voltage regulator control at a substation. Should a utility manage its system voltage if it will reduce its wholesale ...

Power management of battery-powered electronic devices is becoming increasingly more important for the microelectronics industry. This white paper details the difference between low dropout (LDO) ...

A comprehensive understanding of switching regulator noise is important when designing a low noise switching regulator, says Leo Liu. Generally, traditional switching regulators are considered noisy ...

ABB has released the Switching Control Sentinel (SCS) device designed for high-voltage circuit breakers. Voltage and current transients generated during switching of high-voltage circuit breakers are ...
